Chapter Eighty-Six: The Envoy from the Western Regions Leaves
For several days, the cooks in the Western Regions have been practicing cutting tofu, and they haven't learned to cut until now, and the only one that is better is the one that cut the tofu into six pieces before, but it's only a little better.
On this day, when Jiang Baizhu came to this kitchen again, by the way, this kitchen had been specially allocated to these chefs in the Western Regions, just to make it convenient for them to learn cooking skills with Jiang Baizhu.
"Imperial Chef Jiang, how long do we have to cut this tofu?" A cook from the Western Regions put down the kitchen knife in his hand, rubbed his wrist and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Baizhu tilted his head and pondered for a while, "Hmm...... Just cut to the way I used to be. ”
When several cooks heard this, a trace of disappointment slipped in their eyes, after cutting the tofu for so long, they thought that they could learn the others themselves, but it turned out that it was still early to learn the others.
Looking at their dejected appearance, Jiang Baizhu seemed to be unbearable and said: "You have made great progress, and if you continue to work hard, you will definitely be able to do it." ”
The rest of the people glanced at each other, and could only continue to cut tofu, and Jiang Baizhu turned around and left after speaking, wanting to learn cooking, yes, let's pass this basic knife skill first.
Thinking of this, Jiang Baizhu smiled a little unkindly, she was not wrong, knife work is indeed the easiest, but this shredding tofu is not so easy, how can it be done without practicing for two or three years.
Sure enough, after another half a month, the cooks ran to Tuoba Fu and told him that he really didn't have the talent to learn this.
After hearing this, Tuoba Fu looked embarrassed, he initially thought that his cooking skills must be much better than that of Da Xuanguo, but now not only lost, but also couldn't even learn the results of his own chef's desire to learn art, how could he feel so stupid.
In the end, seeing that he had stayed in Daxuanguo for a long time, Tuoba Fu could only take those cooks and the rest of the people to say goodbye to Xie Junze.
"Your Majesty, it's been almost a month since I visited your country, and it's time for Xiao Wang to leave for home." Tuoba Fu came to the imperial study after the end of the morning dynasty on this day.
Xie Junze was taken aback when he heard him say this, looked at Tuoba Fu and said, "Why is the third prince going back so soon, but our Great Xuanguo is not well entertained?" If there is a place where the hospitality is not good, the third prince can bring it up, why go back in such a hurry. ”
King Xie Yuan of Jin also looked at Tuoba Fu and persuaded
Said: "Yes, the third prince might as well stay for a while, now that the autumn has begun, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in a short time, the third prince might as well go back after the Mid-Autumn Festival in the country, and just taste the moon cakes in the country." ”
Tuoba Fu shook his head with a smile, and saluted Xie Junze and Xie Yuan respectively: "Thank you for the kindness of the emperor and the king of Jin, but Xiao Wang is also going back before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my father is still waiting for Xiao Wang to go back for a reunion." ”
Hearing him say this, Xie Junze said with pity on his face: "Okay, since that's the case, I won't forcibly keep the third prince, I don't know when the third prince is going to leave, and I can arrange for the third prince to practice." ”
An envoy from the Western Regions stood up, "Your Majesty, after we have discussed, we are ready to leave tomorrow." ”
"In such a hurry?" Xie Yuan was taken aback, he didn't expect to be in such a hurry.
"Yes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I'm afraid of missing the Mid-Autumn Festival." Tuoba Fu smiled and nodded.
"Alright then, I'll set up a feast for you tonight." Xie Junze waved his hand.
"Your Majesty." Tuoba Fu bowed.
In the evening, Xie Junze held a banquet in the Taihe Palace, and Jiang Baizhu was still the chef, this time, Jiang Baizhu made many special dishes from the Western Regions according to the customs of the Western Regions, which opened the eyes of Tuoba Fu and others.
The next day, Xie Junze, Xie Yuan, the king of Jin, and a cadre of ministers sent Tuoba Fu and others out of the capital, and gave back a lot of silk and satin cloth of the Great Xuan Kingdom, various specialties and so on.
After returning to the palace, Xie Yuan and Xie Junze stayed in the imperial study to play chess again.
"Imperial brother, I don't know what you think of the envoy who came over this time?"
"Brother Chen thinks that this third prince of Tuoba should not be underestimated, but he is not afraid of it, this person can speak fluent Central Plains dialect, which shows that he usually has worked hard." After Xie Yuan fell a son, he said slowly.
Xie Junze paused for two or three seconds after Xie Yuan lost a son, and then followed suit, "I don't think that's the case, this third prince of Tuoba is on par with the imperial brother, but in my opinion, the imperial brother seems to be superior." ”
"Brother Miao praised, this Tuoba tribe is warlike by nature, but their people are also enthusiastic, even Tuoba daughters can ride horses on the prairie, if we want to go to war with the Tuoba tribe, I am afraid that we will hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred."
"I also think so, if I can, try not to go to war if I can, fight a war, and suffer
After all, it is the people who suffer. With a sigh, Xie Junze sighed.
With a disdainful sigh in his heart, Xie Yuan said with an impassive face: "Hehe, the royal brother's bearing, the younger brother is ashamed of himself." ”
"Where, the emperor's brother is also very good at leading the troops to fight, the last time the emperor's brother said that the thief captured the king first, but I benefited a lot, but the war, it also depends on the right time, place and people, if one of them is missing, even if this battle is won, it is not interesting."
"What the royal brother said is that the younger brother has been taught."
Next, both of them stopped talking and concentrated on playing chess, on the chessboard, although Kuroko had the upper hand, but after a closer look, Shiroko blocked Kuroko's path.
After losing another son, Xie Junze looked at Xie Yuan with a smile, "It seems that the imperial brother has been fighting outside for all these years, and his chess skills have not been unfamiliar, and the imperial brother can win you, and thank the imperial brother for conceding." ”
Looking at the chess game, Xie Yuan smiled lightly, "Brother Huang said that he laughed, since he was a child, the imperial brother played chess better than his younger brother, and his younger brother was ashamed of himself." ”
The two brothers exchanged pleasantries for a while, and waited until Gonggong Li came to report that Prime Minister Gu Cheng was visiting.
"In that case, then the imperial brother and the courtiers will go back to the house first." Xie Yuan knew that he should retire at this time.
"Go ahead, wait for another drink next time our two brothers." Xie Junze stood up, sat behind the desk and said to Li Sheng, "Xuan Gu Prime Minister." ”
Prime Minister Gu was waiting outside the imperial study, so as soon as Xie Yuan came out, he saw him, and bowed his hand to make a big salute, "The old minister has seen His Royal Highness the King of Jin." ”
"The prime minister is invited, and the royal brother is still waiting for the prime minister inside." Xie Yuan paused for a moment and looked at Prime Minister Gu and said kindly.
At this time, Li Sheng also walked out, "Prime Minister Gu, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside." ”
"Then the old minister will go in first." After bowing to Xie Yuan again, Prime Minister Gu Cheng entered.
Li Sheng also saluted Xie Yuan and followed Prime Minister Gu in.
"The old minister sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an."
"Prime Minister Gu Cheng, please get up quickly." Xie Junze walked down quickly and helped Prime Minister Gu up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Standing up with the support of Xie Junze, Gu Bai looked at the king in front of him, a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, the emperor can govern the Great Xuan Kingdom so well, he Gu Bai will be worthy of meeting the emperor in the future.
